Description
Pine is an open world action adventure simulation game. Set in the beautiful world of Albamare, you take on the role of Hue, a smart young adult who will have to explore, trade and fight his way through a stirring ecology filled with creatures much smarter than humans.
History
After the release of With the Wind, it was time for something more ambitious. Founders Marc and Matthijs were playing around with the idea of an ecology that is authored by rules of its own, without the player's involvement. Could that work in a highly entertaining action adventure game, rather than a pure simulation game? The two started with their environment artist-friend Timo on the first concepts and looked for 'partners in crime' to join them for their graduation project, a game prototype that would eventually lead to their 2019 success released on multiple platforms.
Features
- A seamless open world to explore, filled to the brim with secrets, puzzles and collectibles
- A smart simulated ecology of species who fight each other over food and territory
- A diverse cast of species to befriend or hinder through trading, talking, questing and fighting
- An engaging, physical combat system that feels different in every fight
- A sweeping story of a human tribe at the bottom of the food chain, struggling for survival
